1) Have a nice stiff drink
2) Make sure he isn't tired, hungry, or playing Socom 2
3) Brush up on your speech class skills
4) Pretend you're a politician
5) Remind him that you only get to get married once, so you really have to get this right the first time around.
6) Memorize every minute detail of every scrap of paper, ribbon, invitation samples and fabric samples that you had to pay to get samples of, so that by the time you recite the whole list, he'll be going, "Well no wonder this thing is $2,000 over budget. I'm so proud of you honey for not making it $3,000 over."
This has been my week. The lowest point of our engagement, actually, has been the tension surrounding this final panic of how are we going to really pull this thing off. . I've actually been incredibly THRIFTY, bargain hunting, and I should give classes on how to keep a wedding beautiful but affordable. I know it will work out in the end. I haven't allowed myself to think about the school problems this week. I'll try to post some pictures as things happen. I'll definitely have some wedding shots before September.

Jess I am proud of you. Things will work out. Good advice also. john
Money is always stressful. Avoiding the guy's tired, hungry, or (insert guy's favorite means of escapism) time is a good safety tip. If it looks like we guys aren't coming up with enough cash to properly support our loved ones, we tend to freak out a bit...
